Giveaway!! // Kendra Scott Rayne Necklace

**contest is closed!! thank you so much to everyone who left a comment :)**

So…as I mentioned last week I attended a blogger conference here in Dallas on Friday and Saturday. This wasn’t my first rodeo, but it was my first significant experience with conference “swag.” Honestly, swag bags and free stuff makes me just a bit uncomfortable, and I’m very picky about accepting it (I didn’t accept everything that was offered to me…) unless it’s something that I love and will wear/post about, or that I know YOU guys will love.

Making my way around the brand suites, I stopped at some, and skipped quite a few that weren’t my aesthetic, or that I hadn’t already posted about. As I was walking past Kendra Scott (yes, I was going to skip it), I glanced over and saw THIS baby, and stopped in to learn more about it. Turns out the new Kendra Scott fall collection is going to be full of gems (haha!) like this, and more “neutral” pieces that I can really get behind. This ring wasn’t the only piece I fell for either, there were some other nice, delicate, drusy pieces I loved, and can see myself buying this fall.

I appreciate Kendra Scott and thinks she makes gorgeous jewelry (I do like some of the gray collection LOL), but it’s just not my style – until the new fall collection comes out, that is. My husband bought his cousin a beautiful, BIG necklace and took it to her in Argentina and she absolutely loves it. And I know her jewelry is extremely popular, but again, it’s never been “me.” But when the brand rep in the booth offered me this “Rayne” necklace, I chose one, and thought it would be a nice thing to offer to you – because I KNOW some of you guys are big fans…

If you’d like to win this necklace, just leave a comment on this post. Say something nice, don’t say anything at all, or link me to your favorite piece on Kendra Scott, whatever you’d like. I’ll choose a winner randomly from the comments next Tuesday, May 6 and get your information to send the necklace. DO NOT put your email in the body of the comment, but DO make sure you include a valid email address when you submit your comment (it won’t be visible to others – only to me).

This giveaway is NOT sponsored by Kendra Scott, I have the necklace in my possession and will be mailing it out myself. Open to US readers only…sorry!!!

Now, GO!

**you guys can leave comments even if you’re not interested in winning the necklace, just leave that as a note in the comment. Since I’ve been responding, I’ll have to re-order everything anyway so I can choose randomly. And keep posting links to pieces you love, I’m enjoying seeing them; you guys have great taste!! Maybe I’ll feature them on in a post …

Also, I was going to post a comment on your last outfit and say that YOU seem to wear the Arizona Birkenstock in exactly the right way. I have mixed feelings about them, but you do it right. 🙂Adrien´s last blog post ..Adrien: Summer Budget WAH WAH.

Hi Gretchen, I learned and loved a lot of great designers through your blog, this is one brand I would like to know and explore her collection. If you choose me, (keeping my fingers crossed as I never ever win anyhting yet) this will be a good starter for me to get to know her pieces. Thank you

Oooh, I;ve been seeing this necklace on Instagram and it is so cute! I just got my first Kendra Scott item a month or so ago (Elle earrings) and I love it! Thanks for a great giveaway!Erika W.´s last blog post ..Exploring Charleston #1

I love Kendra Scott but I tend to shy away from anything too big or too colorful or that I just feel is too much. That said, some of her statement pieces will totally transform a JP tank dress or a more casual outfit into something special. I have a pair of her feather earrings with the gems from last season. Those and a black tee and I’m good to go.

I have this necklace in black and would love one with some color. Very versatile! I have to say, the Dallas conference intrigued me. I follow quite a few bloggers who were there. I don’t mean to offend at all, but it seems like it was just a big marketing push to get bloggers to market certain products? I don’t know how I feel about that quite frankly!

I have a zillion thoughts on the conference , a lot of which I probably shouldn’t say out loud, but ultimately it’s really about how each blogger treats the opportunity. Many see it as a chance to get free stuff, see and be seen,and party. I was there to meet with a couple of companies I was really excited about, and that’s mostly it. I went into it with an open mind and did my own thing, and came out of it with some good ideas and having met a couple of amazing brands – including Freda Salvador who I was so excited about!!!

I wasn’t going to comment because my first thought was that this necklace is too pretty and I would probably never wear it. I tend to favor jewelry that’s a little edgy. But then I followed the link to the Kendra Scott site and looked at the picture of the necklace on the model, and like the scale. So we’ll see, maybe I’ll get lucky and win, and I can consider it a sign that I should wear prettier jewelry.

I tend to like Kendra Scott’s smaller pieces, and I’ve always been more of an earring girl than anything else. I’m not sure why, because I think a nice longer necklace can be so flattering on a simple tee. That’s how I’d wear this lovely necklace.

Thanks for your blog and sharing your journey with us. I’ve been following for a few years and appreciate your insights on your transformation (while staying true to yourself). Congrats and stay strong (and don’t forget to add a little color every now and then).

I’m a new reader and really love your style; thank you for sharing! LOVE this necklace… I actually saw it in Nordstrom over the weekend and it’s gorgeous. Thanks for introducing me to this brand! (And of course I would love to win…)

Hi, I just want to say that your site is one of my favorites and I have bought way too many things because of you. 🙂Karen´s last blog post ..September in Instagram, 2nd half
